Glenn and Gloria Olvey are recovering after they were rescued from the rubble of their home, destroyed in an explosion late Saturday night, according to a person close to the family.

Dave Frasier described the couple as “battered, bruised and sore,” but alive.

“They were both trapped in the house and had to be evacuated by emergency folks,” Frasier said.

Frasier works with Gloria Olvey at LandTree Realtors in Greenwood. He said he has spoken to her since the explosion.

Frasier did not say where the Olveys were recuperating.

According to tax records, the Olveys live in 8343 Fieldfare Way, which is next door to the home that appeared to be at the center of the explosion in the Richmond Hill neighborhood.
